It reads: "We have gathered to pray for peace for all who call the holy land home, and to hear firsthand of the suffering endured by people living in occupied Palestinian territory. We welcome the Government’s action’s so far, especially banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements, and, for the first time, naming the Israeli occupation of Palestine unlawful. Sadly the extent of the suffering means we must act urgently and go further in support of our sisters and brothers in order to preserve prospects for a just and peaceful future. We call on the Government to increase international pressure to ensure accountability for all parties bringing about harm, and we continue our witness and prayers for peace.
